Me too! WHY is Sprinkles so far away - WHY?! Sigh....

I looked into sprinkles to ship to you and myself and they wanted $17.00 to ship a SINGLE cupcake.. they on crack! I still love you though!

I just found out that the magazine that ran a story about our wedding, Destination Weddings & Honeymoons, is featuring us as "Wedding of the Week" on their website. (Talk about re-purposing content! )

The cool part is, they're using pictures and info that they didn't run in the magazine article - 10 pages' worth!

My favorite part is the teaser on the magazine's homepage: "Disney weddings aren't all Mickey Mouse and princess-themed. Check out this colorful and festive affair at Epcot's Morocco Pavilion."

I am so mad that they don't have a share button, so I can upload that article to my facebook..wth!

 

[inkedupmomma]

I take that back.. if you go under the editor's blog, she has a blog about your wedding, and there IS a share button.. woot!

Just wanted to say that if you go to Williams Sonoma, you can buy Sprinkles cupcake mix and make your own batch. I've never had a real Sprinkles cupcake, but I can say that the mixes are DELICIOUS!!

Ok note to self........
Get tripit on my iphone........that is awesome in case you forget any of your paper stuff.
Go to William Sonoma & get Sprinkles cupcake mix & make a batch & decorate them.
Loved seeing your wedding again on the internets.........

Q????? If I am only going to be at Epcot one day in May would it be worth it to do a live blog???????

I that picture of her - it's so cute!

Aw... thanks for thinking of me! You know, my post made it sound like Sprinkles was in another city or something - but, um, I live like 3 miles away.... So don't worry about shipping me some. Just start working on that whole fear of flying thing so you can come out and get some for yourself!

I take that back.. if you go under the editor's blog, she has a blog about your wedding, and there IS a share button.. woot!

Whoa - I didn't even see the blog - it's jammy PACKED with pictures! Thanks for the link!

Oooh - this is good to know! (But don't tell InkedUpMomma or she'll never come visit LA! )

Heck yes! In fact, it might be even more fun cuz it's a one-day-only kinda thing - get the news while it's hot! Just be sure to post the link for us...

The iPhone doesn't have copy and paste yet? I usually forward e-mails to 10 or so addresses. Do you know if the phone has an easy way to do this? On my laptop I copy them from a Word doc.

DF and I just applied for a mortgage to buy our first house together, so that may ruin my plans to visit you in May. If we can make it we will.

 

[inkedupmomma]

I WILL come to L.A. one day! I promise.. just not by airplane

When you want to send or forward an email, in the "To:" box, there's a little "+" icon that you tap, and then choose the person's name in your contact list

That's assuming that anyone you'd wanna send an email to on a regular basis is on your contact list, however.

It's getting a copy & paste update with the 3.0 software that's coming out uh... soon?

Sweet! More pics! Of course, the website doesn't load the entire post - it stops about half way through! Oh well.

TEN pages! Congrats on the lovefest. I don't think they could have picked anything lovelier!

Hey LurkyLoo, I wanted to ask about the airline tickets again. On mine and DH's licenses it only lists our first and second initials. We have a really really long last name and the DMV won't put our whole names on the cards as they are so long.

What should we do about airline tickets? I don't think they would like it if I just put the tickets in our initials? That seems even worse than missing the middle name.

I hate when they change the rules!

Oooo I didn't know they have that! Thank you Melanie!

Thanks for the TripIt tip. They didn't have a Blackberry app, but their mobile site ( http://m.tripit.com ) loaded very quickly and I was able to bookmark.

Well, buying a house would be fantastic for you guys, so no worries there.

I WILL come to L.A. one day! I promise.. just not by airplane

You'd better leave now!

Booo! Have you tried Firefox? Or Safari? Or whatever one you're not using now?

Oh my gosh - that's a really good question, cuz that is tough! I would ask the airline or your travel agent about it. It would be great if you could ask TSA, but I'm not sure they have customer contact info on their site. But a travel agent would definitely know.

Whohoo! I love TripIt! I think Passporter should do some kind of deal with them to get a Disney-enabled version of TripIt!

I'm working on a To Do list of things I have to see, do, and eat when I get to Disney in May, but in the meantime....


Cake o' the Day!!!


Ginormous Chocolate Cake.... need I say more?

 

[romymichelle21]

Do you ever get the single-serving cake slices at Vons, Carrie? I get one every once in awhile just for the heck of it (If you haven't seen 'em, they're in the bakery section, in a refrigerated thing like the fancy cheese is in).

My favorite so far is Black Forest But I love Lemon cake too. (No jelly filling, eew!).

 

[lurkyloo]

I've gotten them at Ralph's, but they're usually dry. I now work right next door to Von's Pavilions, so I'll check it out.

One thing I love about that Pavilions - they sell Boston Cream Pie! Drool......

 

[romymichelle21]

I'm no cake connoisseur, so if it doesn't rank high on the Lurkyloo Cake Scale, don't blame me

They have the normal square slices, and the 'diner' cake slices (on their sides) - try the diner cake! So soft and yummy.

... Wait, isn't this thread about your upcoming trip?

 

[lurkyloo]

Sure it is - but my upcoming trip and cake are basically synonymous! Just wait til you see my "To Eat" list!

 

[A-T-G]

I can't wait to see your "to eat" list! I will, of course, want to eat all of the stuff you pick - so you'll have to eat for two! (I mean you and ME! Don't everyone get all excited...)
